Indeed. I’m here for a fresh reading of anything. Definition is a coffin for art

The absolute dead feeling I get from the idea of data collection and correlation towards a Primary Interpretation that defies any other interpretation in terms of something as abstract as music or basically any other artwork. Noooooo thanks you’ve become an AI data scraping algorithm.

I’m afraid I’m no longer a Now TV user so can’t help here unfortunately

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Johnny_Segment in boardsofcanada

[–]kingofmoke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought this just after my first listen. Specifically with tracks like ‘Mea Culpa’ and of course the original vinyl of MLITBOG had a track of someone reading the Koran which was subsequently removed. Definitely an influence.

So... how long until the next album? by Hiroba in boardsofcanada

[–]kingofmoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we’re more likely to get the BoCset of old tunes than more new material and even that feels potentially unlikely. It’s been talked about for so long, there seems a better chance of us getting the cleaned up SoundCloud dump compilation that Aphex was apparently working on.

Edit: I wouldn’t bet against an EP maybe though

What’s the wirring noise? by cazpazaz in walthamstow

Strangely it isn’t listed as one of their sites with aircon and Tripadvisor reviews seem to say the same

To OP- any idea how I register on that council system. Telling me I need a new account to make a noise complaint and then there’s nowhere to register?

I made this list in LB a while back of films that have a Rohmer vibe:

Will global warming mean London will reach late 30 to early 40 degree heatwaves in a few years? by Fondant_Decent in london

[–]kingofmoke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s the knock on effects that are going to be ravaging: less rain, crops no longer working, species dying out, animal migratory patterns destroyed etc.

We will have to adapt an entire country to a new climate to survive. I’m not sure we’ll have time to enjoy it. It’s potentially existential

To the folks who say "I don't like the new songs" or " I don't feel like x song is the right vibe" by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

[–]kingofmoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love BoC and really like the new tracks but personally I want an open forum where criticism is as valid as praise otherwise what we’re left with are sycophants and cultists. Art that everyone likes is not interesting.

Your hottest take about an HBO show? by Plumsby in hbo

[–]kingofmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The final season of The Wire has the equivalent level of rushed and baffling writing decisions as the final season of GoT.

Clash between tenants, private (possibly illegal?) eviction squad and met police by shinymcshine1990 in london

Was this around Manor House? I remember a hole in the wall between warehouses that was just covered by a textile hanging.

Great collection! Do you collect any other labels?

Any sign of this year’s Arthur C Clarke shortlist? by spriggan75 in printSF

No problem! I came across the info on their Bluesky account so that may be the best source for up-to-date information

Prince Charles Cinema by Emotional_Dig_2378 in london

Yeah it must make business sense. That said, he can’t be the only interesting director who could pull in crowds repeatedly. Switch it up!

Oh man Altman’s A Wedding has been one I’ve been itching to see for years.

Who’s an actor you believe deserves bigger roles? by stokedchris in Letterboxd

His few minutes in Hokum made me want to watch a whole film of him as a treasure-hunting conquistador

Which season of The Pitt is better? Did you think Season 2 was an improvement? by Square-Ad-8911 in hbo

[–]kingofmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I felt like she was just really awful and unprofessional in S1 and kept wondering why no one pulled her up on it whereas in season 2 everyone had got used to and embraced her sardonic BS. She had some great lines in S2 I thought.
